Group Overview: Our physical Temple is located in Sylva, NC, on 7 acres of land. We DO meet in person!

We would like to let folks know right up front that we do not condone the appropriation of Native (or other) ceremonies or culture in general. This is a respectful place. There is no such thing as "Native American spirituality". Native American people are not a monolith. If you would like to learn about the tribe specific to this area, the Cherokee people, the Qualla Boundary is just up the road. There are plenty of opportunities to learn about Cherokee language and culture there, as well as at WCU wth the Cherokee studies program. There are appropriate ways to be good allies.

The Sylvan Hearth Pagan Temple owns private properties on which all rituals, workshops, festivals and social gatherings occur. We are very careful about not disclosing the physical location of our Temple to non-members for safety and privacy reasons. If you are interested in visiting, please contact us for a visit off-property first.

Our Temple is incorporated in the state of NC as a legal church, with 501c3 status pending. We have experienced, competent clergy, ritualists and educators here. Our clergy are legally ordained to serve their various communities.

The Sylvan Hearth Pagan Temple is an umbrella organization for the many diverse Pagan individuals and groups of various traditions and paths forming under it, independently and autonomously, and using our facilities.

See our Statement of Inclusion on our website.

We are governed by a Board of Directors, a spiritual Council and core values which can be found on our website.

We do own 2 fair sized pieces of property, legally in the name of the Temple, that currently houses:

We would love to network with other Pagan groups and projects we support, such as:
